R50 and RF-S 18-45mm (Phinizy Swamp)

This is the sort of place you drag an R50 along, not an R3 and some L's. In fact, this is a place you don't drag FF along at all, if you have a telephoto in tow (you should though, there's another thread for that).

In the past I've taken the M50 Mark II and 15-45, 55-200 along, which you can see some shots here... https://flic.kr/s/aHsmWU3fBg

I will say 18mm, although works, 15mm is much preferred, or wider still at places like this.

To cut to the chase, the AF on the R50 is just vicious. I don't have to cull shots due to AF miss or shutter shock like the M's. Also, there's more leeway in the RAWs, but the SOOC JPEGs themselves are REALLY good. I'm happy with SOOC in fact, for once. My only gripe? This is the sort of place that screams an 11-22. Ahem, Canon? Fix it, yesterday.

With that, onto some fun shots...

Nice place, good times.

I would have brought FF because of the needed DR and all those branches in the background, but that's probably me.
